Node Groups and Interface Groups

In NNMi, the primary filtering technique is to group nodes or interfaces, and then applying settings to a group or filtering visualizations by group.

• Node groups can be used for any or all of the following purposes:

  • Monitoring settings
  • Incident payload filtering
  • Table filtering
  • Customizing map views
  • Filtering the nodes passed from a regional manager to the global manager for the global network management feature

• Interface groups can be used for any or all of the following purposes:

  • Excluding interfaces from discovery
  • Monitoring settings
  • Incident payload filtering
  • Table filtering
